#565 Create an 8-foot wide by 16-foot long Hexagonal shed in OpenSCAD

// Define the dimensions of the hexagonal shed

shed_width = 8*12; // 8 feet wide, converted to inches

shed_length = 16*12; // 16 feet long, converted to inches

shed_height = 8*12; // 8 feet tall, converted to inches

wall_thickness = 2; // Wall thickness in inches

// Calculate the radius of the hexagon based on the shed width

hexagon_radius = shed_width / (2*sqrt(3));

// Define the function to create a hexagon with a given radius

module hexagon(radius) {

  for (i = [0:5]) {

    angle = i * 60;

    x = radius * cos(angle);

    y = radius * sin(angle);

    if (i == 0) {

      polygon_points = [x, y];

    } else {

      polygon_points += [x, y];

    }

  }

  polygon(polygon_points);

}

// Create the base of the shed

difference() {

  hexagon(hexagon_radius);

  translate([0,0,-wall_thickness]) hexagon(hexagon_radius-wall_thickness);

}

// Create the walls of the shed

difference() {

  linear_extrude(height=shed_height) hexagon(hexagon_radius-wall_thickness);

  linear_extrude(height=shed_height+wall_thickness) hexagon(hexagon_radius);

}

// Create the roof of the shed

difference() {

  linear_extrude(height=wall_thickness) hexagon(hexagon_radius);

  translate([0,0,shed_height-wall_thickness]) linear_extrude(height=wall_thickness) hexagon(hexagon_radius);

}

Personal Note: Change hexagon module to single statement: circle(r=radius, $fn=6);
